8 MOST FAMOUS JAIN

TEMPLES IN INDIA

Jainism is a religion that prescribes pacifism and a

path of non-violence towards all living beings.

The purpose of life according to Jainism is to undo the negative effects of karma through mental

and physical purification. This process leads to liberation accompanied by a great natural inner

peace. There are as many as 4.2 million Jain followers in

India and about 6 to 12 million worldwide. A Jain temple is called Derasar or Mandir depending on

where in India it is located. They are usually built

from marble stone as demonstrated by this list of

amazing Jain temples in India.

LAL MANDIR

Located just opposite the massive Red Fort, the

Shri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir is the oldest and

best known Jain temple in Delhi. Originally built

in 1526, the temple has undergone many

alterations and additions in the past and was

enlarged in the early 19th century. The imposing red sandstone temple is also known as Lal Mandir.

SONAGIRI

The small town of Sonagiri (literally, the golden

peak) is situated on a hill in central India. Several

spotless white Jain temples are scattered around

Sonagiri. Both pilgrims and tourists are required

to climb the 300 steps to the top bare-footed. Once

at the top, travelers can marvel at the view of

countless white temples and chhatris whichever

way you look.

KHAJURAHO JAIN TEMPLES

The village of Khajuraho is one of the most

popular tourist destinations in India. It’s numerous

Hindu and Jain temples are famous for their erotic

sculpture. The temples were built over a span of

200 years, from 950 to 1150. During the

Chandella rule, Khajuraho was home to a large and flourishing Jain community. The Jains

apparently lived on the east side of town and a number of Jain temples have survived in this part

of Khajuraho. Two of the large temples still stand in a good state of preservation.

GOMATESHWARA TEMPLE

The monolithic statue of Gomateshwara stands on a hill in the city of Shravanabelagola.

Gomateshwara was the second son of Lord Adinatha, the first of the 24 Tirthankara

(enlightened human). The 17.38 meter (58 ft) high monolithic stone statue is regarded as one of the

largest monolithic statues in the world. It was

created around 983 AD by Chavundaraya, a

minister of the Ganga Kingdom. Once in 12 years

the Mahamastakabhisheka festival is held and the

statue of Gomateshwara is bathed in milk, curds,

ghee, saffron and gold coins.

DILWARA TEMPLES

Located near Mount Abu (Rajasthan’s only hill

station), the Dilwara temples are world famous for

their stunning use of marble. The ornamental

detail spreading over the minutely carved ceilings, doorways, pillars and panels is simply amazing.

There are 5 Jain temples here, each with its own unique identity and named after the small village

in which it is located. All the temples were built by the Chalukya dynasty between the 11th and

13th centuries.

PALITANA

The city of Palitana is a major pilgrimage center

for Jains. The temples of Palitana are considered

the most sacred pilgrimage place in Jainism. There are hundreds of Jain temples located on the

sacred Mount Shatrunjaya, exquisitely carved in marble. They were built by generations of Jains

over a period of 900 years, from the 11th century onwards. The top is reached by climbing 3,572

steps, a heavy 2 hour accent.

RANAKPUR TEMPLE

Dedicated to Adinatha, the Jain Temple in

Ranakpur rises majestically from the slope of a

hill. The temple is supported by over 1444 marble

pillars, carved in exquisite detail. The pillars are

all differently carved and no two pillars are the

same. The construction of the temple and

quadrupled image symbolize the Tirthankara’s conquest of the four cardinal directions and hence

the cosmos. The dating of this temple is controversial but it was probably built between the

late 14th and mid-15th centuries.

NAKODA

Nakoda ji is one of the famous Jain temple of India.This sacred tirtha is at a distance of 13 kms

from Balotara Railway station and 1 km from Mewad city. It is situated in the forest in the hills.

In this tirtha with a charming natural atmosphere all-around, we have an idol of Mulnayaka Shri

Parshvanath Bhagavan. It is black in complexion, 58 cms in height and in Padmasana posture. The

idols is extremely charming and miraculous. The miracles of the presiding deity of this spot, Shri

Bhairavaji Maharaj are well-known. We have a

reference which states that the ancient name of

Nakoda was Virampur. It is said that in the third

century before the Vikrama era, two brothers, Shri

Virasen and Shri Nakoresen raised two villages

Virampur and Nakorenagar at a distance of twenty

miles. They also get constructed two temples of

Shri Chandraprabhu Bhagavan and Shri

Suparshva Bhagavan.

IB BOARD, THE NEW

STATUS SYMBOL?

Today, parents have a plethora of educational

boards from which to choose, to enroll their

child/ren. It is no longer just the SSC (Secondary

School Certificate) or ICSE (Indian Certificate of

Secondary Education). Get Ahead presents a

series of articles on the educational boards

gaining popularity today. This is a look at

the International Baccalaureate (IB) board.

IB is the abbreviation for International Baccalaureate.

It is an internationally-recognised school system

made up of three educational programmes:

i. PYP: The Primary Years Programme

(Kindergarten to Class 5).

ii. MYP: The Middle Years Programme (Class 6

to Class 10).

iii. DP: The Diploma Programme (Class 11 to

Class 12).

The IB programme was founded in 1968 by the

International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), a

non-profit educational organisation based in

Geneva, Switzerland. Despite having its headquarters in Switzerland, the IBO is an

international organisation, not associated with any particular country and free of national political

educational agendas.

How is IB different from, say, CBSE? Is it only

for gifted children? Can my 'normal' child

cope up with IB?

The IB programme is more practical and application-based. It has a broader spectrum of

subjects that lead to all-round development.

IB examinations test students' knowledge, not their memory and speed. There are no

examinations till the Middle Years Programme (Class 10). The focus of the IB pedagogy is on

'how to learn' rather than 'what to learn'.

There are no prescribed textbooks; students can

choose their own books.

The purpose of IB is to produce global citizens.

But sometimes, the IB programme does use the

local curriculum as a base. For example, Hindi

can be offered as a second language in the IB

Diploma Programme. The IB curriculum is more challenging than

educational boards like CBSE and ICSE. But the challenge is in the quality of assignments, not in

the amount of work assigned.

What are the subjects in PYP?

Subjects in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) are:

1. Language

2. Social Studies

3. Mathematics

4. Science and Technology

5. Arts

6. Personal, Social and Physical education

What are the subjects in MYP?

Subjects in the Middle Years Programme (MYP)

are:

1. 1st Language

2. 2nd Language

3. Humanities (History and Geography) 4. Sciences (Biology, Chemistry & Physics)

5. Mathematics (Number, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, and Discrete Mathematics)

6. Arts (Visual Arts and Performing Arts) 7. Physical Education

8. Technology (Computers)

What are the subjects in DP?

DP students choose one subject from each of the

following six 'Subject Groups':

• Group 1: First Language (English)

• Group 2: Second Language (French,

Hindi, etc).

• Group 3: Individuals and Societies

(History, Economics, Business and

Management, etc).

• Group 4: Sciences (Biology, Chemistry,

Physics and Environmental Systems).

• Group 5: Mathematics and Computer

Science. • Group 6: Electives (either Visual Arts or a

second subject from Groups 3, 4 or 5). In addition, all DP students must study a two-year

course called Theory of Knowledge (TOK); work to produce an Extended Essay (EE); and engage in

Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS).

What are TOK, EE and CAS?

Theory of Knowledge is an essay of 1,200-1,600

words written on a given title (from a choice of

ten), followed by a ten-minute presentation of the

essay by the DP student in class.

Extended Essay is an original independent

research leading a DP student to produce a comprehensible written piece of 3,500-4,000

words in any chosen subject and title. Under Creative, Action and Service, each DP

student must complete at least 150 hours spread out over one-and-a-half years, engaging in some

form of Creativity, participating in sport or other physical Action, and doing social Service.

What are IB World Schools?

Schools recognised by the International

Baccalaureate Organisation and offering the IB

curriculum are known as IB World Schools.

There are just 18 IB World Schools in India [ ]

scattered over 11 cities.

Five of these schools have begun offering IB in

the past five months alone.

The list of IB World Schools in India is as

follows:

Western India

• American School of Bombay, Mumbai [ ]

East India No IB Schools in Eastern India yet.

Only one IB World School in India, The

American School of Bombay, is an IB-only school

(offering no other curriculum). It is also the only

Why should I select IB for my child?

1. The IB Diploma has earned universal reputation

for rigorous assessment, giving students access to

the top colleges and universities in India and the

world. IB is fast becoming the programme of

choice for Indian students preparing to pursue

higher education abroad.

2. The IB curriculum equips students with the

tools needed to succeed in higher education, such as self-confidence, preparedness, research skills,

organisational skills and being actively engaged in own learning.

3. Some universities even offer scholarships to IB diploma holders.

4. University admissions around the world are getting competitive by the day. Admission officers

are increasingly looking for other evidence that a

student will succeed in the university - such as

exposure to quality curriculum, research abilities,

international outlook and social service - all

enhanced by IB.

Is the IB only for the elite?

Pursuing the IB programme can be very

expensive, with annual fees as high as Rs 250,000.

But the IBO vigorously maintains that the IB

programme is not elitist. Mahatma Gandhi

International School, an IB World School based in

Ahmedabad, is a 200-student municipal school where slum children study together with

expatriate children.

How can I teach at an IB World School? The IBO conducts frequent workshops for

prospective and experienced IB World School teachers.

THIS DIWALI WELCOME

GUESTS WITH A RANGOLI! Step 1: Select the Diwali Rangoli Design

Count how many dots are needed horizonatlly and how many

dots are needed vertically

(this design is 9 dots vertically and 9 dots horizontally)

Step2: Apply gheru (brown earthy clay) on the surface (either on the ground directly or on any flat surface). I have done the rangoli on a wooden plank left over after carpentry work!

Flat surface on which to make the rangoli design

Step 3: If, like me, you cannot make dots in a straight line freehand, use a ruler or a paper already punched with holes. It is always best to use white rangoli powder to make the dots as these are more clearly visible than coloured rangoli dots. Colours should be used to fill in the rangoli design.

Step 4: Carefully lift the punched-holes paper by raising it and quickly tilting it off to the side on a paper, so that the rangoli powder on the paper does not spill on to the flat surface of your design.

Step 5: Start the design by taking a small pinch of the white rangoli powder. Many people make the mistake of picking up the powder the way they do salt or masala powder, with the thumb and forefinger tightly holding the powder and dropping it straight on the surface to make the lines of the design. What you should do is hold therangoli powder in such a way that it sort of trickles off from the side very gently. This creates a much thinner line than if you simply dropped it directly on the surface.

Note the gentle sideways-movement of sprinkling

the white rangoli powder

Step 6: Start the design from one corner and move on to the other corners, as it is then easier to do the center pattern of the rangoli design.

Do one corner first

Step 7: After doing the 4 corners, do the center diamond pattern

Corners and center completed

Step 8 and 9: Complete the full design little by little

Step 10: Never put coloured rangoli powder directly as filling for the rangoli design. You must always mix it first with a little white powder. However, remember that the more white powder you use, the lighter the shade you will get. So put little at a time till you get the desired colour shade.

Mixing colured golden powder with a little white rangoli powder

Step 11 onwards till final completed design: Now, fill up each section of the rangolidesign with other colours. Do not overdo it and make it over-the-top colourful!

CORBETT - THE LAND OF

TRUMPET & ROAR

Located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand,

Corbett National Park acts as a protected area for

Bengal tigers of India, which are a critically

endangered species. Corbett National Park was

established in 1936 as Hailey National Park. The

standard altitude of this national park ranges from

360 m to 1,040 m. It is home to around 50 species of trees, 580 bird species and 50 species of

animals along with 25 reptile species.

Sprawled across an area of 1,308.58

square km, the region includes 520

sq km of dense core

area while the

buffer area spreads

across 797.72 sq

km. The dense core area of the reserve forms the

Jim Corbett National Park. This national park

comprises 512.8 sq km of area, which covers

riverine belts, hills, marshy depressions, lakes,

streams and grasslands.

History of Corbett

Named after the hunter and conservationist James

E Corbett, Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India. Jim Corbett played a key

role in the establishment of the reserve.

Formerly, some of the areas of this park were part of the princely state of Tehri Garhwal. In order to

make the area less vulnerable for Rohilla invaders, the forests located within the region were cleared.

However, a part of this region was ceded to the

East India Company by the Raja of Tehri. This

was done by him so as to return favours to the

East India Company as it had assisted the Raja of

Tehri in ousting gurkhas from his land.

A tribe of the Terai, which was known as the

Bokas, settled on this land and began cultivation.

However, in the 1860s, with the advent of British

rule, this tribe was evicted from the land. After

this, the control of the land was passed on to the

hands of the British Forest Department. The

department, after gaining control over the land, prohibited cultivation along with operation of

cattle stations of this land.

In 1907, the British administration focussed

on the possibility of establishing a game

reserve on this land. As

a result of this consideration, in 1936, a reserve

area known as Hailey National Park was

established which sprawls across an area of

323.75 sq km. However, this preserve was

renamed as Ramganga National Park in 1954-55,

which was later renamed again in 1955-56 as

Corbett National Park.

In 1974, Jim Corbett National Park was chosen as

the location for Project Tiger. At present, this

national park is among the 13 protected areas,

which is covered under the Terai Arc Landscape Programme by the World Wildlife Fund.

This park does not authorise hunting, however it

permits timber cutting for domestic purposes. Later, rules were passed, which prohibited killing

and capturing of reptiles, mammals and birds.

The best time to visit

Corbett National Park is

from November 15 to June

15. The park remains

closed for the rest of the

year as its roads are

washed out during

monsoons. However, the

buffer zones Jhirna and

Sitabani are open throughout the year.

Things to do in Corbett

Jeep safaris are conducted at 6 am and 2.30 in the afternoon. Safaris can be booked and tickets can

be bought by tourists at Ramnagar, the headquarters of the Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Elephant safaris are also conducted inside the park, which start from Dhikala near the Patli Dun

Valley. Local guesthouses in Corbett have canteens that serve simple food. Books on the

tiger and souvenirs can be bought at the canteen

in Bijrani range forest. Tourists and adventure

enthusiasts can also try out various

budget packages for trip to Corbett.

Travelling to Corbett

To reach Corbett, Ramnagar is the gateway. at 51

km away from the national park. The best way to reach Ramnagar is through Delhi. Although the

nearest airport to the destination is in Patnagar, 50 km away, Delhi is the closest international airport.

Tourists can also take a bus from Nainital or Delhi to reach the destination. The town’s bus station is

located near the railway station. National

Highway 121 connects Ramnagar to other cities.

famous conservationist and writer Jim Corbett. At

Corbett Waterfall, which drops from a height of

almost 20 m, tourists can enjoy camping and a

family picnic. Situated at the fringes of Patli Dun

valley, Dhikala has a rest house, which was built a

hundred year ago.

IS DIWALI KUCH MEETHA

HO JAAYE ?

Diwali, one of the biggest Hindu festivals is right

around the corner, and its time to get cooking

some delicious sweets and snacks. If you are in India, you’d be relishing tonnes of decadent

sweets that would be decking the Mithaiwallahs or Halwai ki Dukan (sweetmeat shops). But being in

US, its hard to find some of those authentic delicacies. yet, that’s no reason to sit back and

brood. Here are some really easy yet delicious Diwali Special Sweets that you can make right at

your home; make the most of your time, so you

can enjoy the other celebrations too with equal

gusto!

1. Rava-Besan Laddoos

Ingredients:

1 cup Besan (Gram Flour)

1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter)

2 cup Rava (Semolina)

1 cup Sugar

1-2 cup Water

Sliced Almonds and cashews to garnish

Method:

Take the ghee in a non-stick pan. Once the ghee is

melted add rava to it and half roast it till it

becomes faint light pinkish and starts giving out

roasted smell. Don’t overcook it.

Then add the besan to it and roast again for about 5 mins till the mixture becomes golden brown in

color. Along with this, keep another pan to make the

sugar syrup with all the sugar and water. Keep stirring the sugar syrup and check the consistency

till it comes to single-wired texture (take a little sugar syrup between your fingers and check to see

that the syrup forms a single strand as you pull

your fingers apart).

Take the rava-besan mixture in a plate and allow it

to cool. Once the sugar syrup is done, don’t let it

cool much, and add it to the rava till it becomes

like a thick paste. Keep adding the syrup a little at

a time, just enough so you can make a loose ball

when you take some mixture in your hand.

Mix everything well and let it rest for 7-8 hours or

even for overnight, to be on the safer side. You

can see that the mixture when cooled enough, it

becomes a bit thicker than before; Make laddus

out of it and garnish them with sliced almonds and cashews.

These can be stored in an air-tight container for about 10-12 days at room temperature, and more

if refrigerated.

2. Koprapaak (Coconut Burfi)

Ingredients: 1 can condensed milk

2 cups dessicated coconut 2 tsp cardamom powder

2 tbsp sugar 1/4 cup nuts – chopped (pistachios, almonds,

cashews)

A few strands of saffron – to decorate

Method:

Keep a little coconut and a few pistachios aside

for garnishing. Mix the condensed milk and the

remaining coconut in a bowl. Add the sugar and

elaichi powder and stir on a low flame for about

4-5 mins. The milk is already thick, so don’t over-

heat else it may get burnt. Remove from flame,

then add the chopped nuts and set aside till the

mixture has cooled down enough to handle with

your hands.

Shape into small laddoos(round balls). Roll each laddoo in a little dessicated coconut. Garnish each

with a slit of pistachio and saffron. Alternately, you can spread the mixture after removing from

flame into a slightly greased plate or thali which has edges. Then use a knife to cut into squares or

diamonds if you want to make Coconut Burfi instead of laddoos.

3. Microwave Peda (Milk Pedas)

Ingredients: 1 tin (nestle) Condensed Milk

1 cup (whole) Milk Powder

1 tbsp Kewra Essence or Rose Essence

1/4 cup finely chopped Pistachio

2 tbsp melted (unsalted) Butter

Method:

Mix together the condensed milk, milk powder,

melted butter and the essence in a microwave dish

(preferably) a corning ware dish. Microwave it for

first four minutes. Remove and stir it thoroughly.

Again microwave it for another 2 minutes.

Remove and let it cool for sometime. Divide them

equally into small lemon sized balls.

Take an empty thread spool and one by one press the balls with the spool on a wax paper. Now you

get a beautiful design. Sprinkle the finely chopped pistachio on the pedas. The pedas are ready. Serve

it on a decorated dish.

4. Phirni or Kheer(Rice Pudding)

Ingredients:

1 cup – rice

1 litre – milk

1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)

1/2 cup condensed milk (unsweetened)

1 cup – sugar

** you can reduce the sugar to half or skip it if

using sweetened condensed milk cashew nuts fried in ghee – for garnish

Method: Wash the rice once. Keep it aside.

Fry some sugar in ghee for a min. Add the rice to the sugar and fry for a min. Add 2 cups of water to

it and allow it to cook in a pressure cooker upto 3

whistles. After that remove the lid and add milk to

cooked rice. Let it boil for 5 mins, then add sugar.

Boil again for 5 mins. After that add condensed

milk to it to make it nice and thick.

Finally add cashew nuts, garnish with some

saffron strands, and serve, either hot or cold.

5. Shahi Pista Roll or Pista Burfi

Ingredients:

Pista (Pistachios), unsalted and chopped, 1 Tbsp

Khoya or mawa, 1/2 cup

Milk powder, 1 tspn

Sugar, 2 Tbsp

Varak (silver foil), 3-4 sheets (optional)

Cardamom, powdered, 1/2 tspn

Method:

Take khoya and sugar in a thick pan and heat over

medium heat with continuous stirring till it start to

leave the sides, about 5 minutes. Add cardamom

powder. Transfer to a plate and let it cool so that it is

comfortable to touch. Add milk powder and knead well to make it a dough. Divide the dough into

smaller balls and roll each to form a long cylindrical (tube) of diameter 1 cm. Carefully

stick the silver foil all round each of the tubes. (optional)

Cut each roll into smaller rolls of 2cm size. Store

10 TIPS ON HOW TO

BUDGET AND ORGANIZE

YOUR HOLIDAY GIFTING

LIST

Holiday shopping probably isn't on most people's

"favorite things" list. For many, it's a frenzied

month-long process that begins with a Black

Friday stampede and ends with a desperate trip to the mall on Diwali Eve. In between, there's

usually a lot of confusion, anxiety and money-hemorrhaging. If, like so many holiday shoppers,

you don't keep careful track of your spending, you can easily get carried away and end up maxed out

-- with stress and your credit cards. So how do you avoid busting your holiday budget

this year? Two words: Get organized. We've come

up with 10 ways to spend less, be more productive

and stay calm throughout your holiday gift-giving.

If you take this advice to heart, we guarantee you

won't be making that dreaded trip to the mall the

day before Diwali or Christmas.

10: Start Early

Camping out for Discounts is many people's idea

of starting early for holiday shopping. But we

suggest getting started much, much sooner. If a

gift idea pops into your head in March and you

see a great deal, why not grab it? By

making holiday shopping a year-round activity,

you'll be able to shop around at your leisure and

avoid panicky last-minute spending.

9: Prioritize

The holiday shopping spirit is

certainly infectious, and when you're in an overcrowded mall

with just a few days to go before exchanging presents, it's easy to

panic and lose track of exactly who you need to buy for. So think ahead and

make a list of the absolute must-buys -- with a

spending limit for each person -- and stick to it.

8: Comparison Shop Online

"Thou Shall Do Your Research" is the most

important of the shopping commandments, and at

no time is it more crucial than during the holidays.

There are so many deals and promotions online

that you'd be crazy to buy the first thing you see.

Chances are you won't have to pay full price if

you shop around a little -- even if you don't find a good sale right off the bat, you should be able to

score a coupon code or free shipping. Sites like snapdeal.com and flipkart.com are good places to

start.

7: Ask Around Its fun to dream up gifts for your friends and

family each one more special (and expensive) than the next. But you'll be doing yourself -- and

your budget -- a favor by getting an idea of what people want. Asking for gift advice might remove

the surprise factor, but it also eliminates time-

consuming guesswork -- and impulse buying.

6: Get Gift Receipts

With all this

thoughtfulness, research

and advance planning,

you're going to choose

the perfect gift for

everyone on your list,

right? Sure, it's possible! But chances are you'll

strike out with someone, so play it safe and always include a gift receipt to ensure a hassle-

free exchange. You wouldn't want your hard-earned money to go to waste on a gift no one

wants or uses.

5: Go Homemade

Handmade gifts are by far

the best way to save cash

over the holidays.

Wannabe Martha Stewarts

can whip themselves into a

frenzy this time of year, but don't count out

homemade if you're not a crafty type. You can never go wrong with the gift of baked goodies.

Find an easy cookie recipeand bake away -- if the gift is from your heart, that's what really counts.

4: Set Price Limits for Gift Swaps

Remember that episode of

"The Office" where

everyone fights over the

iPod that Michael brings to

the Secret Santa party?

That's where

your gift swap will end up

if you don't set a strict price limit.

Workplace holiday events are awkward enough

without adding money confusion (and

overspending) to the mix

3: Re-gift Yes, re-gifting is

kind of tacky. But we've all done it,

and it's definitely hard to resist if

you're on a tight budget. Just

make sure the gift is unworn, unused and

unopened -- and that you're not re-gifting to

someone who could possibly know (or be!) the

original giver. Send it as far away as possible -- to

the other side of the family, maybe, or to a friend

on the other side of the country. We won't tell.

2: Make a Donation

Why not give charitable contributions for the holidays? It's guaranteed to be appreciated,

especially if you pick specific causes that each of your loved ones loves. Plus, sticking to

your budget will be a breeze. Oh, and should we mention another little advantage called "tax

deduction?" Just be sure to keep track of the

charities, the amount you contributed and in

whose names.

1: Keep Track

Remember that gift list we talked about? It won't

do you any good if you don't pay attention to it. Stay within your budget for each person and keep

a running tally of how much you've spent. If you have the list with you at all times, you'll be much

more likely to keep impulse purchases in check.

General Tips: 1. Don't be afraid to make changes to your

budget – a good budget is always

evolving.

2. Hang on to a copy of your gift budget after

the holidays are over; it'll be helpful in

planning next year's budget.

3. Use the Holiday Spending Worksheet to

establish an overall holiday budget.

President Barack Obama's re-election in the

United States elicited strong feelings from

optimism to skepticism around the world. A

sampling of global reaction:

“One of the first things I want to talk to Barack about is how we

must do more to try and solve this crisis (in Syria). Above all,

congratulations to Barack. I've enjoyed working with him, I think

he's a very successful U.S. president and I look

forward to working with him in the future.''

British Prime Minister David Cameron, on a visit

to Syrian refugees on the Jordanian border.

“Your re-election is a clear choice in

favor of an America that is open,

unified, completely engaged in the

international scene and conscious of

the challenges facing our planet:

peace, the economy and the

environment.'' French President Francois

Hollande.

Pope Benedict XVI sent a message to

Obama expressing hope that ``ideals of liberty and justice, which guided

the founders of the U.S.A., may continue to shine on the road ahead

for the nation.'' Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi.

“When you were elected in 2008,

you inspired the world with a call to

take responsibility for the problems

we face as global citizens. Since

then, you have made earnest efforts

to live up to that great hope and trust

placed in you by the American public. I believe

you have been re-elected now in recognition of

that effort.'' the Dalai Lama.

The United Nations said Secretary-

General Ban Ki-moon ``warmly

congratulates'' Obama on his victory

and looks forward to continuing to

work with his administration on the

many global challenges ahead that

range ``from ending the bloodshed in Syria, to getting the Middle East peace process back on

track, to promoting sustainable development and tackling the challenges posed by climate change.''

``I will continue to work with President Obama to

preserve the strategic interests of Israel's citizens.''

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu, who has had a strained

relationship with the American

president over Iran and the Israeli-

Palestinian conflict.

"During the last 4 years when Obama was U.S.

president, no breakthrough happened in relations between Iran and the U.S. At the beginning of his

first term the situation was a bit better, but as he went on the relations got much worse, with the

sanctions being imposed. So I think the outcome

of the election that was just held will not make

any difference for Iran.'' Amir Karimi, - Iran

“As a mother and as a grandmother who raises

boy children, I think that the

symbolism of having a black man

occupy the highest office is

something that can make my

children very aspirational to know that this is possible, you know, in

their lifetime.'' Zindzi Mandela, daughter of former South African President Nelson Mandela.

``If both parties try to overcome the accumulated distrust and turn over a new leaf, if America

comes to realize that it needs to work with

Vladimir Putin instead of thinking that it doesn't like the Russia that we live in, then we could

achieve results.'' Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the Russian Duma's foreign affairs committee, calling

for a new start to U.S.-Russia relations.

``Sandy was a climate change warning. Obama

must now take the stage and fulfill the promise of

hope the world needs.'' Kumi Naidoo,

international executive director of Greenpeace.

The trust that the American people wanted to

renew in you will allow the

international community, Europe and

Italy to benefit from your leadership without interruptions. ... With your

confirmation at the White House, Italy knows it can count on a strong

and united America.'' Italian Premier Mario Monti.

``I think Obama is a man eminently capable of

building bridges between the Democrats and

Republicans. And if you look at the challenges ahead

for America bringing down unemployment, getting the

economy going again, strengthening the political and

trade relationships with Europe and Asia there are

plenty of reasons to do so.'' Dutch Prime Minister

Mark Rutte.

PRESIDENT BARACK

OBAMA'S SPEECH

IN CHICAGO AFTER HIS

RE-ELECTION: Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after a former

colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.

It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has

triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair

to the great heights of hope, the belief that while

each of us will pursue our own individual dreams,

we are an American family and we rise or fall

together as one nation and as one people.

Tonight, in this election, you, the American

people, reminded us that while our road has been

hard, while our journey has been long, we have

picked ourselves up, we have fought our way

back, and we know in our hearts that for

the United States of America the best is yet to

come.

I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very

first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that. Whether you

pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney

sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.

I just spoke with Gov. Romney and I

congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought

campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it's

only because we love this country deeply and we

care so strongly about its future. From George to

Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has

chosen to give back to America through public

service and that is the legacy that we honor and

applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look

forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk

about where we can work together to move this

country forward.

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, the best vice

president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the

woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved

you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our

nation's first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our

very eyes you're growing up to become two

strong, smart beautiful young women, just like

your mom. And I'm so proud of you guys. But I

will say that for now one dog's probably enough.

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the

history of politics. The best. The best ever. Some

of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very

beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will

carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a

grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.

You lifted me up the whole way and I will always

be grateful for everything that you've done and all

the incredible work that you put in.

I know that political campaigns can sometimes

seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty

of fodder for the cynics that tell us that politics is

nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain

of special interests. But if you ever get the chance

to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and

crowded along a rope line in a high school gym,

or saw folks working late in a campaign office in

some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.

You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who's working his way

through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You'll hear the

pride in the voice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired

when the local auto plant added another shift.

You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a

military spouse who's working the phones late at

night to make sure that no one who fights for this

country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over

their head when they come home.

That's why we do this. That's what politics can be.

That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big.

It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300

million can be noisy and messy and complicated.

We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply

held beliefs. And when we go through tough

times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.

That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our

liberty. We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives

right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots

like we did today.

Both the films have a special advantage - a clean week before

and after their release on November 13

This Diwali, the Bollywood box office is expected to be on fire with two major releases - Shah Rukh

Khan's yet untitled film with Yash Chopra, and Ajay Devgn-starrer Son Of Sardaar. The buzz is

strong for both projects, which are most likely to mint at least Rs.100 crore, according to trade

pundits.

Both the films have a special advantage - a clean

week before and after their release on November

13. "There are no other films releasing in that

period. So it's an added bonus. We are expecting

both the films to collect Rs.100 crore-plus during

Diwali," Sanjay Ghai of Mukta Arts told IANS.

The Shah Rukh-starrer marks the return of veteran

filmmaker Chopra to direction after a hiatus of

eight years. He is currently shooting for the

romantic drama in the scenic locales of the

Kashmir Valley. His movie also stars Katrina Kaif

and Anushka Sharma and is said to feature King Khan in his true-blue romantic avatar, making it

one of the most awaited releases of the year.

Son Of Sardaar, a romantic comedy directed by Ashwini Dhir, features Ajay and Sanjay Dutt in

key roles, with Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla essaying the female leads. The movie's teasers

have received a positive response.

A budget of at least Rs.60 crore each is said to

have been involved in the making of the two films

as per industry sources. Rajesh Thadani of

Multimedia Combines opined: "Yash Chopra's

film will have the edge over the other and will

benefit more. But both the films have the potential

to survive and should collect around Rs.100 crore

each."

Yash Raj Films (YRF) is lately riding high on the

success of blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger, starring

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Released on

August 15, the film has already ammased over

Rs.170 crore and is on its way to creating more

records. To make sure the film got one of the best openings ever, YRF released the film in over

3,000 screens. Now, YRF is reportedly planning to go bigger with its mega Diwali release.

"The buzz and excitement for the as yet untitled

film is tremendous. The film also marks the coming together yet again of the award-winning

duo of music maestro A.R.Rahman and poet and

lyricist Gulzar, adding to the appeal of the film,"

Rafiq Gangjee, vice president (Marketing and

Communications), YRF, told IANS.

"Given all of this, while we are planning an

extensive release worldwide this Diwali, it is too

early to predict the number of screens finally. This

will only firm up much closer to the release on

November 13," added Gangjee.

According to industry grapevine, YRF has booked

the pre-booked maximum screens for the new film."But it should not be a problem for Son Of

Sardaar as eventually, if the film has a strong content, it will have a long run," said Thadani.

Since the opening weekend collections have

become the deciding factor for a film's fate, it has become a trend to pre-book screens to make the

most of the first three days. There's no denying

that the strategy turned out to be correct for Kabir

Khan-directed Ek Tha Tiger.

Explaining the phenomenon, trade analyst Vinod

Mirani said: "Ek Tha Tiger was released in 3,300

screens with six shows per day in multiplexes.

The idea was to collect maximum within the two

days of the release."It worked for Ek Tha

Tiger because it had a solo release on

Independence Day, then there was the Eid

weekend, and it had Salman Khan. The film

managed to collect Rs.175 crore in 12 days."

Mirani says while the formula worked for action thriller Ek Tha Tiger, it may or may not work with

Chopra's own directorial "because his films are generally lengthy". "The number of shows (a film

gets) get reduced because of that," he said, adding that "there is an audience for both the films"

Aries (Mar. 20--Apr. 19) :

Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are

the qualities prominent this week. You may be

the one who feels rebellious and wants to be left

alone. If you have words on your mind regarding

a relationship, they may fall right out of your

mouth when you least expect it. Think carefully before you speak.

Taurus (Apr. 20--May 19):

You are in a sensitive frame of mind at this time. One or more friends may step on an old

wound unintentionally. If you must, lick the wound for a bit. Your better solution is to pour

extra energy into exercise or other self-

improvement routine. Think about making one or

more attractive improvements in your

environment.

Gemini (May 20 -- June 20) : Activities involving children and/or lovers prove

to be great fun. On the other hand, you may be

feeling confusion concerning your partner or

business contacts. Double check on facts, data,

and directions that come your way. Pay careful

attention to communications and messages.

Cancer (June 21--Jul y 21) :

We are approaching an eclipse season that begins on the 13th. It is possible you will be especially

sensitive to everyone’s feelings this week. Don’t set yourself up for a hard three weeks. People can

recover. Ruminating over issues is rarely helpful and it is hard on your overall attitude.

Leo (July 22 --Aug. 21):

Your attention is channeled into home, hearth, and

family during this period. Elderly people or

things may be requiring your attention. Sudden

problems may develop with your high tech

equipment or internet connection. The coming

eclipse on the 13th

is the culprit.

Virgo (Aug 22--Sep. 22) : You may be feeling irritable and a little

nervous. You can’t be sure whether someone

significant in your life is really telling you the truth or treating you honestly. The probability is

that there is some sort of deception present, but it may be you is telling yourself what you want to

hear. Don’t leap to conclusions.

Libra (Sep. 23--Oct. 22)

You have favorable aspects concerning the law,

travel, publishing, the internet, education and

church activities. People will invite you

everywhere. Your emotional or physical health

may require some attention. An old “wound” is

involved. You may feel an internal conflict between joining and holding back.

Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21) :

The “rules and regs” weigh heavily on your shoulders with Saturn in your sign. This is normal

at the beginning of this transit. Within a few weeks you will become acclimated to the new

internal environment. This week, a part of you

wants to escape. Don’t burn bridges in your

wake.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 --Dec. 20) :

You are in an especially cordial frame of mind at

this time, and likely to invite people to your home,

or to share whatever you have to offer. Your

spirits are high and you have a need to be

social. Romance is highlighted, along with the

potential for travel.

Capricorn ( Dec 21 -- Jan 19) : Saturn’s change of signs has probably brought you

to a shift of attention. You may be asked to accept responsibilities in community affairs or

organizations to which you belong. If the recent years have caused you to take up the mantle of

constant work, it is possible you are realizing that you’ve become isolated.

Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 17) :

You have arrived at a point that I call “promotion

or departure”. If you love your life direction, you

will take on more responsibility and become

recognized for your efforts. If you are ready to

dump it, now is the time to choose a direction and

environment that is more suited to you..

Pisces (Feb. 18--Mar. 19) :

You would be happy to take the first flight to

Tahiti and never bat an eye over it. Short of that,

you may be taking small mental breaks this week, with lots of daydreaming and drifting. Make a

special effort to keep up with keys, tickets, and other small items. Paperwork snarls may become

a problem.
